She debuted as a vocalist and lyricist on the album People, Place, Times & Faces (1993),[1] recorded with an all-star Scandinavian 10-piece orchestra led by jazz saxophonist Fredrik Lundin.

As a solo artist, she spent the 1990s touring and recording with some of the most respected Scandinavian jazz musicians, including Bobo Stenson, Mads Vinding, Alex Riel, and Carsten Dahl.

Between 1995 and 2000, she released three albums under her own name (When I Close My Eyes (1995), In So Many Words (1997), When the Dust Has Settled (2000)), featuring original material with English lyrics.

[2] For In So Many Words, Væring received an honorary end-of-year award from the Danish Arts Foundation and included in the end-of-year-list in Svenska Dagbladet.

She also shifted the orchestration of her bands from the acoustic piano trio format to a more classic pop-rock setup, featuring electric guitar, bass, and drums.

Both albums received high praise in major Danish newspapers, earning acclaim from rock critics such as Klaus Lynggaard and Kim Skotte.

[12][1][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] As a solo artist, she released Umanérlig (2011), a follow-up to her 2008 album Lystfisker, again based on a guitar-driven rock trio format with lyrics in Danish.

[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] As a bandleader, writer, and co-writer, Væring collaborated with Finland-Swedish pianist Jonas Berg to create a song cycle for themselves and the Norwegian baroque ensemble Barokksolistene.

In October 2024, Væring announced her upcoming solo album, A Songwriter’s Odyssey, recorded with producer John Raham in Vancouver, Canada.

[55] Væring grew up in Kokkedal, north of Copenhagen, as a happy adopted child of Danish parents, a topic she has spoken about publicly on several occasions.
